PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.

Maybe so, but he’s not behind being the banker for it! And he’s probably interested in changing it’s mission. After 75 years, it needs a makeover along with a change in who pays for what.

NATO would be a good framework for declaring the muzzie invasion to be an act of war, and the muzzies enemy combatants.

Walk them back to the Bosporus at the point of a bayonet.

That whole issue has been so distorted by the TrumpDerangementSyndrome elites

Trump thinks the 1950’s-1960’s concept of NATO is outdated (it is) and NATO should pick up more of the costs for their own defense (they should)

We as did Trump could ask why the US is footing the bill to defend their national borders when they don’t want any (and criticize us for wanting to defend ours)

and why we are defending them against the Red Menace when their own euro-enviro- greenies have made them reliant on Russia for energy

“PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.”

But you left out the part where she strongly supported Trump’s position that NATO nations needed to fulfill their 2% GDP commitments. Specifically she talked about the cyber warfare issue and defeating daesh as she called ISIS.

I think Trump is behind NATO, but on his terms. Which means that it will serve our interest, not necessarily the Europeans.

I hope not either. It needs to DIE. The faster, the better.

Trump has said that he is for NATO, if everybody pays their fair share, and if fighting terrorism becomes a NATO high priority.

“PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.”

but she followed immediately with statements about NATO nations needing to meet the requirements of spending 2% of GDP on NATA/self-defense. For anyone paying attention, that wasn’t a throw-away statement: that was actually saying “you deadbeats are all gonna have to pony-up or else President Trump is gonna cut the amount of U.S. support of NATO”.

> PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.

And May just said “the peaceful religion of Islam”.
She’s an idiot who will see the demise of England to Sharia.

Don’t shoot from the hip. Stop and think of the wording of what was said. NATO is okay, it’s just the players, scope, and member requirements that need to be reviewed.
